Breaking:What did Jennifer Aniston say in response to JD Vance’s ‘childless cat lady’ comments?
Jennifer Aniston is no stranger to speaking her mind when it comes to American politics. In 2020, she shared a photo of herself voting for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, and now, with all eyes on JD Vance, she’s speaking out about one of his worst comments ⏤ one of many, that is.
When Vance recently talked about “childless cat ladies,” he made many Americans shudder in horror and reminded them why he would be the most ill-suited VP this side of Sarah Palin. Television lovers the world over have adored Aniston since her Rachel Green days and have seen her through many great roles (and hairstyles), so they naturally perked up when she decided to speak her mind regarding the Hillbilly Elegy mouthpiece.
Jennifer Aniston, JD Vance, and the “childless cat ladies” conundrum
According to People, Aniston posted a screenshot from Fox News of JD Vance’s comments on her Instagram Stories, writing, “I truly can’t believe this is coming from a potential VP of The United States. All I can say is… Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day” ⏤ because, if his daughter needed IVF ⏤ “you are trying to take that away from her, too.”
As People pointed out, Aniston and her former husband Brad Pitt didn’t have any children. After they got divorced in 2005 and Aniston married Justin Theroux in 2015, fans continued wondering whether or not she would ever choose to start a family. It was only when the actress gave an incredibly vulnerable interview to Allure in 2022 that we learned she couldn’t have children after trying IVF and experiencing infertility.
While we would like to believe that politicians would be understanding of fertility problems and the devastating mental health consequences they can have on women, we know that’s unfortunately not the case with a staggering number of candidates. Aniston was right to call out Vance’s refusal to support IVF; as
Northwestern Now reported, Vance voted that he didn’t want the Right to IVF Act in June 2024. As reproductive endocrinology and infertility associate professor Dr. Eve Feinberg told the publication, “There’s a war on women more so than there’s a war on abortion.” It’s no wonder why rumors are swirling that the GOP is having second thoughts about Donald Trump’s decision to choose Vance as his running mate.
